Neither is this situation, nor in the case depicted later, I do see a
case for a full-blown assignment transaction.
I would assume that the ISP connecting that web server has the
addressesd assigned and manages the adress(es) needed to configure the
technical stuff. And assuming that you've got more than one server to
support, *you* might want to do an addressing plan and some assessment
of your network development....
And if you decide to formally tell your customer about the individual
address from your assignment to be used, then this can be seen as local
matters.
There's a difference, of course, if your're talking about a VSE with a
LAN (IP based) that gets connected and might decide to become dual-homed...
